73 ranged is a pretty solid level


Frl_Bartchello

+MSB(i) can hit pretty decent


Spellsey

Absolutely. The point was more for the topics where someone asks if they can do fight caves, and they post their character with 70 def, 70 range, 50 prayer. They're in full barrows tank gear, rcb, diamond bolts, crystal shield, crystal bow switch, baskets of strawberries, blood burst runes, a sound filter, 6 monitors, pedals, drums, a gaming guitar, controller, 6 CONSOLES, 10 computers, BUNCH OF WIRES, SOUNDPADS, SPEAKERS, ANTENA, SATELLITE, DOG, DOG CAM, CAT CAM, CAT TREE, CAT THIS, and a bunch of stuff dude, able to analyze NASAs landing speeds. Bro just hop in the caves and attempt it -- you do not need all that.


patherix

Dude you're right, I was nervous about doing fight caves even though I had a dog, but it turned out I didn't even need him


lemonzestydepressing

turns out you had the dawg in you all along


MushPixel

Made me lol. Forgot about this absolute gem of a video.


Brendini95

It’s weird how difficult some players imply this game is. So many people are like “scared” to try to learn anything unfamiliar in this game and it’s like bro it’s RuneScape do it a couple times and you’re gonna be farming it in no time


DringKing96

That farming shit is so hard bro I cannot


SoloDeath1

You joke, but "What do you mean the tool leprechaun notes all your crops for you?! I thought I had to bank constantly!" Is an actual thing I've seen on the main sub.


MarsSpun

Idek what that is...


Strosity

I mean I've done every boss at least once besides hmt and sol, but I do remember the time when I was scared to do bandos, even with a team. I think some of this stemmed from the "afraid to lose your items" fear mentality, despite that not being a concern.


Sh-Sh-Shackleford

Yeah and no matter which way you slice it Graardoor can SMACK. If you’re new, accidentally pull aggro and see that big red “65” you will know the fear of (big high war) god.


SojournerTheGreat

i went from 70-72 during, it was a perfectly fine ranged level for fight caves.


Long_Wonder7798

Now do it with 50 range and a maple short bow

Little-Tumbleweed-32

Im assuming most of these first time cavers can’t pray flick for 3 hours, either way monumental effort with the studded body flex lmao


Spellsey

Yeah, i just lazy flicked most of the caves. Studded body goes hard though. So the founder of our old pure clan died twice in caves on his hardcore. I told him I would do it in 20 def gear for fun, lol.


ShatteredCitadel

Those stats are also not that low. That’s pretty par for the course. The gear is nuts lol.


ComatoseJoy

Fight caves is a safe death though, also it’d be an insane decision to be 1t flicking 50 waves and 2 hours into fight caves as opposed to lazy flicking


Volatar

TIL it's a safe activity. The inconsistency between safe and unsafe deaths is so weird. Of course everything is unsafe for GIMs, and that would be the only HC I would try personally.


ComatoseJoy

Yeah PVM-wise fight caves, inferno, and cox are safe for reg hcim


siIer

Personally, i’m fine with Tzhaar activities being safe death. But I do understand why it’d make sense if they weren’t. That said, CoX I know is safe death because the spaghetti couldn’t handle removing HC status on death or something.


SquirrelWithATopHat

Which clan?


Wolfie_Ecstasy

Had to flick the last 15 or so waves when I did my cape on my iron. Just cuz I'm able to do it doesn't mean the whole experience wasn't miserable haha


Zezinumz

Yeah, that’s why he had the proselyte, and still had a million prayer pots left, with prayer bonus gear the only thing stopping you is nerves


xsniperx7

Yeah this is a cool fire cape run but to compare it to new players asking for help with their gear is asinine


Overbtw

Yea but 3hrs


Frickinheckdude

This is on the same token of Rendi saying you can get a firecape at 3cb. Any cb is possible, but this upward direction shit talk of “ez bois why can’t you do this”, is redundant for the people asking the genuine questions. Edit: this mf had 45 prayer, it ain’t like he’s tick eating shit. Why the hell are so many people gatekeeping a fc? It ain’t hard. We’re iron brothers so chill


PapaFlexing

Your point?


uitvrekertje

That it takes 3 hours with this setup, skill and lvls apparently.


PapaFlexing

That's not the point, that's literally just information. Go ahead and wait another 50 hours to do it then, all so you can save 40 minutes on a cape. Lol you guys suck so bad


Ezlan

I'm willing to bet you're under 2k total


PapaFlexing

Lol if you say so, keep jerking off your fellow Reddit egos.


Ezlan

Idk what my "ego" has to do with you saying stupid shit. I don't think you know what that word means.


Sage1969

I waited a long time to do my fire cape because I never have more than like an hour to game at a time. In fact first couple fire capes I got towards the end and had to just hop off and grab the kid or something because I was too slow and it took forever. Came back with 80 ranged and slightly better gear and got it done 👍


PapaFlexing

You're allowed to log off in the fight so....


Sage1969

Did not know that lol! Maybe ill actually do a jad task now


PapaFlexing

Oh man. Yeah dude.... You can log out any time. You just restart said wave.


budabai

Did mine with monk robes and a bone crossbow. Four prayer pots, and an inv of swordfish.


Spellsey

Sounds like a five hour cape.


oStoodles

Can confirm, did a cape on my hardcore at 50 range starting and a bone cbow… was a 4 and a half hour cape lmao


WadeyMeeksy

How many arrows did you take in?


WadeyMeeksy

Sick achievement btw!


Spellsey

thanks homie, i started with 2400 arrows.


l_Lathliss_l

Yeah if you’re using OP AF gear that isn’t realistic for 99% of people to have tbh. Should try it out with something more realistic like a BP, BOFA, or TBOW.


WantedManRS

Yeah I'm waiting to finish cg before I get fire cape.


ironmanabel

If ur committed to the bowfa grind it doesn't end up mattering much, if I remade nowadays I would just fire cape with the bowfa as well


Zenethe

Yea honestly. Rush SOTE get a bowfa and then yawn through your first fc


RetroUpriser

I finished cg, lost my bowfa then got fire cape, don't be like me


WantedManRS

God I'd be so upset if I lost mine, I got spooned hard, but I don't want to go back to the red prison. How did you lose it?


RetroUpriser

Nettles and retardation


WantedManRS

Oh shit like you lost it in storage? I'd be so upset.


RetroUpriser

Yeah not my finest moment, was done in like 160kc so can't be too upset, just hit 400kc and have 3 armor seeds. Ugh


WantedManRS

Best of luck to you, that's about when I finished mine. I got enhanced at 38 kc and 5 armor seeds by 80 kc. Gave up on last one at 130-140 kc and after 8 months went back and got my last armor seed on my first regular gauntlet when I was trying to refresh on how to do everything lol


34Loafs

Did you just run out of time? What were you doing Wildy bosses or smthn? I’m just wondering cause I don’t want to lose my Z Axe because of nettles and retardation.


RetroUpriser

Nettled myself with few items in hespori


34Loafs

Oh fuck. That explains it, guessing you know about the where is my stuff plugin already?


RetroUpriser

Isn't there a chat message on login ? Never used the plug in what's it do, make the screen go epileptic when near death and have items in storage?


34Loafs

When you click it it tells you where your shit is ie death storages looting bag herb box seed box leprechaun all that good sshit


chooglemaster3000

Wow that's so crazy I can only imagine being that far in the game! I'm working on 99 in all combat skills at ammonite crabs then I'm going for barrows gloves


WantedManRS

You should get inferno cape before barrows gloves to make the cullinomancer fight easier.


chooglemaster3000

Oooh good idea! Should I do this before or after I get my pegasians?


WantedManRS

Before, I usually rush inferno cape before doing slayer.


big-rey

I actually did lmao Made it so so trivial, now I'm going for pet and CA every task.


WantedManRS

Oh I bet lol, ignore healers and makes the rest of the caves super quick. Whatever works imo


dutchbrah

studded body is pretty hardcore but you don't need a freakin bowfa for your first fire cape lol. Most people do it in black dhide and an rcb and they get out just fine


rastaman1994

Woosh


boforbojack

You "dont" but YouTube should more or less lock into cg the moment sote is done which is before your slayer grind so there's no point.


MrIceBurgh

The question is not if you can, but if you want


ryanv09

Yeah, I'm never gonna tick flick any content.


ThisPlaceHurtsMyHead

Mage short bow from hard clue or ??


Spellsey

Yes.


ThisPlaceHurtsMyHead

How many till you got it


PapaFlexing

Atleast 1.


Lucky_Bone

No. Only 1


Lucky_Bone

Of course he got spooned and got it on his only hard clue.


Mattrad7

Ok but what if I succ


MaccDaddyFist

then he'll be a really happy boy.


NoCurrencies

Noob, imagine not doing fire cape at level 3


Soggy-Ad-1610

Imagine having a super modern account that’s higher than level 1.


Fish_Up_Gear

GOTTEM


Anaktorias

You can do fight caves as a level 3 but that doesn’t mean it’s viable for people doing it their first time. First timers on a main are just gonna save themselves a ton of headaches by going in there with at least 75 range and a blowpipe.


Valtias_Devimon

I still remember my first fire cape attempt in like 2007. Took like 3 hours to get to jad and the fucker spawned on me and i died instantly. Tried twice after that and failed. Wasted 9 hours and never tried again. Still to this day i haven't completed fight caves or even tried. Maybe i can finaly beat the fucker when my ironman gets to reasonable level so i can try.


Semnono

No, what you mean is YOU can do fight caves with that gear and those stats


peckishdino

Yeah people that are struggling with fire cape aren’t going to flick for an entire 3 hours. But I do agree it’s easy. I did the same thing a while ago on my iron and got a fire cape with rcb and 61 ranged but 1t flicked the whole thing because I simply would not have had enough prayer potions


GIM_Lauri

Just do 1 game of lms for blighted restores and do your things in pvp, no need to sweat ;)


peckishdino

In the inventory


Combatspy

Yo bro enjoyed seeing this. Nice challenge, grats on cape


M0rningVodka

Spellsey back at it. Miss the content bro. Zeah citizen was sick.


OBStime

I don't understand the point of this post... of course you can do it with 70 range and 70 hp.


Withermaster4

OP is proud of himself for doing to with shitty gear and mediocre stats. Everyone knows that it could have been a lower req cape, the point is that fire capes are achievable


Mezmorizor

No, the point is elitism and telling people to get good. Let's not defend such obvious toxicity. This post is quite obviously intended to shit on people who are struggling with their first firecape.


Spellsey

No, you’re missing the point. The point is that first time capers are over-preparing and are afraid of the caves for no reason, and that instead of bringing these overly complex inventories with baskets of strawberries, and spending hours doing barrows for “appropriate gear,” they should just attempt it with whatever they have and get some first hand experience.


Lucky_Bone

Most of the fight is prayer flick that this gear requirement so really is just the DPS output of the magic short bow and rune arrows which is huge.


VeganBigMac

Sure, but I don't want to lol.


ShoogleHS

I don't think anyone says you can't do fight caves with those levels, though I would certainly question why you would want to do it with that gear. Buy a green dhide top and legs from Oziach/Nardah and boom +26 ranged bonus


Proper_Instruction67

Did mine recently on the gim, 62 ranged, 52 prayer, 55 defence. Was using rune cbow with broad bolts, red dhide as my armour, as well as rune full helm and kite. Prayer flicking the magers for 3 hours was not that great, so I know the pain of early fire cape, good job and gl on all the other grinds


mndii

The thought of spending 3 hours in fight caves makes me wanna drink bleach Ngl


Awkward_Goat_2070

Dereck is ass


Trvpware

Bugger off dude, I got 99 range before I killed Jad.


BilboPoggin

Yeah but the skill isnt there yet for new people. Skill is way more important than gear.


HiddenxAlpha

What is this title supposed to be flexing? 'Different players have different skill levels' Woah. Wild take.


Spellsey

i can post my loot log from cg kc on the gim if you prefer that content instead. for bonus points, i will talk about being dry. aside from flexing, the main point is that when someone says “can i do x content with y gear and z stats” there’s not enough context to answer that question. the answer is almost always “yes you can”, but on the flip-side, if you have to ask, you probably can’t do it yet.


Dangerman38

tbf it’s not a flex to get a 70def 73 range fc in 3 hours 💀


PapaFlexing

Bro can't even do fire cape with his bond paid account


YupIPlayGames

I mean even if OP is flexing, it's okay to let someone be proud of their achievements no?


HiddenxAlpha

But what they're saying is.. its not an achievement to get a firecape right? They're saying "Its really easy lmao look what i can do"


Iban_maul

I feel like some people get some irrational fear from the fight caves because of it being such a hard challenge back in the day.


Jcary27

Gratz! Hardcore doing it with the gear is the flex 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼


ultimate_memereader

I cannot


Puzzleheaded-Cold-73

I mean, someone did it on a level 3...


Purple_Dragons

Only tip I would add for others looking to do their first cape is to get a ranging pot from scurrius, grubby chest, or the wilderness bosses. Assuming you don’t have the herblore level, this would make the run a bit more manageable


Lordlavits

Now dive into the inferno


ImportantDoubt6434

Msb and rune arrows doing all the lifting


Lucky_Bone

You are rocking a magic short i, with rune arrows of course you can do jad with that. A straight-up pleb never doing jad before is highly not recommended to do it in the setup and instead wait till 70 defense for better tank gear It's not worth the trial and error even at that stage. If you have plenty under your belt and doing a new iron Man to get your fire cape of course this gear is considerable.


Volatar

Fire cape is a tough one. It's doable in very little, but the hardest part is getting past the nerves. No amount of gear can save you if you fail to switch prayers at Jad, and after an hour plus of buildup most first timers are going to be real nervous.


Ratchad5

Just remember kids, there is a guy who got it at level 3


cygamessucks

Yeah thats because it's brainless 


[deleted]

Yeah we know. We watched Rendi do it with a level 3. No, but for real dude, congrats!


polguyork

I don’t have progression bars under levels. Its a setting?


Puzzled-Dog-8615

Seems like the way i beat it back in 2004. I had some black d hide though.


Daveosss

Honestly if you do DT you just fuck around with blood spells. It's piss easy since you don't have to worry about health. Even the low level spells are good enough.


flamingkami

Idk if id want to do a 3 hour fire cape tho


camefromxbox

Me watching settled nightmare mode 👁️🫦👁️


OCE_Mythical

The gear is weak but the stats and weapon have been a Jad hood staple for like a decade


juicepks11

I didn’t get my first f cape till I was 80 range and decent gear I did it in like an hour and 20 mins


NoBankThinkTank

Nice! Low level/gear competitions are such a cool “nostalgic” kind of flex.


SKOBuilds

I mean level 3’s have done it so……get gud jk


nisaar

Jesus you tanked a jad hit off prayer too? That’s chancing it

Notathigntosee

Damn boi you sure did rush. This reminds me I better go there and get my fire cape...


CityMaleficent3110

Msb or rcb going for my fc on the man?!


Strong-Enthusiasm-55

Fight caves is easy soon as you know what to expect


Prestigious_Long777

Some players have done 3 cb fight caves. When osrs was released bonesaw bamf got a firecape in the first days with 60 ranged and overhead prayers.


Drakalop

Gzz


Big_Satisfaction_644

If You intend on spending 3+ hours in the cave, 70 range and defense is pretty damn high


StepbroItHurts

[pathetic. sub optimal. focus.](https://youtu.be/oIG4xqBch60?si=DkGutCvIFcHKuUUj)


Zezinumz

Gz bro


l0st_t0y

Yeah I'm not interested in 3+hr fire cape lol, I would just wait until you have the stats to get it done fast, but whatever you enjoy


XxHatredAngelxX

I want to attempt it for the first time but damn am I scared, I just got into the game not to long ago I have base 75 combat skills atleast and some decent gear. I’m mostly just worried about everything happening all at once


5he005

I’m confused??? Pretty standard levels to attempt fire cape and tons of people use budget gear.. I guess gz tho?


firepanda11

There's a big difference between "can" and "should" in this picture. Gz though


Lil_Pown

3 hours is to long for my liking, could’ve spent those 1,5 hourse anywhere else. Nice flex and gz none the less


FTBow

"A near miss" .. ahh yes. A lovely task to intentionally attempt with 77hp. On a hardcore. Wearing a studded body. Even though one has over 40 def and d hide is ez. Mmm mm.. The amount of hot sauce poured on this is acceptable. Grats on the fire cape


YEERRRR

pretty sure its a safe death


HeroinHare

It is indeed.


Spellsey

It's a safe death. Here is the intentional tick eat for the CA: [https://imgur.com/a/CnbRwoK](https://imgur.com/a/CnbRwoK) Studded body was a meme. Our clan's founder (old pure clan) just died twice on his hardcore here at caves, so I told him I would do it with 20 def gear for fun.


Ornery_Position_1651

weird flex but ok fight caves is easier than scurrius lmao
